[ Could whatever they order become the next thing to betray them...? Any attempt to reclaim katsudon, freeing it from its distressing connotations, would be doomed then. Or will this impossible moment really play out like a sleepover, even in this familiar room?
Alice is too aware of the weight of the collar around his neck, though he can breathe, but here, where Shin Tsukimi uses his phone freely, they could absurdly be mere matching accessories. For the moment, the most frightening thing appears to be nothing but Kanna Kizuchi's curiosity... Why, Shin Tsukimi fled to hide beneath the covers for that reason alone, didn't he? And he's doing everything he can to find an escape route for himself!
It's almost impressive that he's able to withstand Kanna Kizuchi's pleading, unmoved... But what could he be so unwilling to admit? That his answer would be something embarrassing — virtual avatars, for example? Robots?
Truthfully, the chosen request makes Alice himself somewhat self-conscious. There are common assumptions, but he can't discern what Kanna Kizuchi expects to hear, or hopes to receive in answer as a worthwhile revelation. Still, he shrugs for Shin's question first. ]

[ The truth would disappoint her, even here, he's sure of it! She must be imagining something wild and scandalous, considering his status as a criminal, so a normal answer would be boring! ]
My type... is...
[ Is it enough to laugh to himself as though there is a great secret for Kanna Kizuchi to bring to light? ]
